The main book of documenta 14 takes the form of a reader, evoking the various meanings associated with the term. The documenta 14 Reader
explores—in essay, allegory, poem, historical legal document, and
hybrid literary other—the discursive and practical concerns of the
project, such as debt and gift, the coloniality of power, economies of
the exhibition, and languages (and other currencies) without remainder. A
critical anthology that reflects on history in order to better envision
the present and reconceptualize the future, the Reader
features both newly commissioned and foundational texts as well as image
portfolios that illustrate the expansive scope—at once temporal and
geographic—of historical artists and actors included in the documenta 14
project.
